I Got A Pistol

I recently purchased my first (and only) handgun. I ended up going with a Glock 23C. I pretty much made this choice a few years back when I got to fire one at a buddy’s house. It fires .40SW, which is considered to be a solid defense round. The big thing with this particular design is that it’s “compensated”, meaning it has openings in the top of the barrel that allow gas to escape.

I’m also getting my CCW license; I’ve already completed the “training” and paid the fees. I’m just waiting for my paperwork at this point. Then I’ll be able to take it to the mall and the movies, just like the little gangster wannabe in our weapons class (someone really asked if they could do that during the training).

For ammunition I went with the Speer Gold Dot Hollow Points, 165gr. From the research I’ve done they seem to be a modernized version of the highly respected Federal Hydrashocks. People have some very good things to say about the stuff.

Anyway, I’m glad to finally get this chore out of the way. I’ve been wanting to get a pistol for years and finally got around to it. Now I’ll be able to go to the shooting range as well as the driving range when I want to release some tension.
